Today, Bill Maher's masterful film, Religulous comes out.Bill Maher's wit has a bite to it, and one of his favorite targets is any form of organized religion.
From the back cover of the DVD, ""In this new comedy from director Larry Charles (Borat, "Seinfeld"), comedian and TV host Bill Maher ("Real Time with Bill Maher","Politically Incorrect") takes a pilgrimage across the glode on a mind-opening journey into the ultimate taboo: questioning religion. Meeting the high and low from different religions, Maher simply asks questions, like "Why is faith good?" "Why doesn't an all-powerful God speak to us directly?" and "How can otherwise rational people believe in a talking snake?" For anyone who's even a little spiritually curious, this divine entertainment will deepen your faith....in comedy!""
The special features of the DVD are: commetary with Bill Maher and director Larry Charles, Deleted Scenes, and Bill Maher's monologues from around the world.
I really like this movie, and saw it a few times in the theaters, including opening night at The Orleans Casino.
I think that this move should be shown in the schools to combat the strangle hold that the extreme right -wing has the school districts in this nation. There goal is to force their perverted version of Christianity.
Religulous will be shown by The Agrave Spirit Grove at Las Vegas' Unitarian Universalist Church on Sunday, Febuary 22, at 1pm. There will be a discussion following the movie. My bet will be it going to be lively one.
I hope you all enjoy Religulous, and please leave me a comment if you seen the movie or have a view on it.
